What is a Mixer?Īudio mixers are the kind of hardware consoles you see in a studio, or live entertainment venues, where bands plug in their instruments, mics, and output a mixed signal. Many people often compare an audio interface to an external sound card that you can plug in your input devices. The audio interface is hardware that improves the sonic capabilities of your computer. This way you can play and record an instrument, and record vocals onto a track in your DAW and have that ready for mixing.Īn audio interface, a USB mixer, and a multitrack mixer all achieve the common goal of recording tracks to your DAW. In the article linked above, we saw that an audio interface is used to convert and send signals such as mic and instrument inputs to and from your computer (and DAW). You have a look at that too if you haven't, to get a well-rounded idea of the differences discussed here.
This article is a follow up to what is an audio interface. We'll even throw in some tips to help you get started with either. We'll look at whether, both of these approaches are pretty much the same, whether there are differences in things such as sound quality, which is better, and whether you can replace one with the other. If you've been searching the internet and have come across these two options, this might just be what you need. In this article, we're going to look at the difference between an audio interface and a mixer with a USB interface built into it (we'll even throw in a multitrack mixer).
